these 4 simple rules can eliminate these accidents.

I fully support and preach these all the time, however after speaking those close to the incident this seems to be a pure accident.

She was standing beside the parked trucks and was struck with a single pellet to her head. There were no other pellets found in the area in which she was standing due to the shot being fired in another direction. This pellet ricochet off of an object and ended up hitting her. Not a case of not knowing what was beyond your target from what I have been told. Ths shot was fired in another direction. Just a freak accident.

My thoughts and prayors are with all involved. I ask that everyone take a second out of their day and send some thoughts and prayors as well for all those affected.
